​A well fought battle by our Budleigh ladies at Madeira yesterday but unfortunately the home team defeated them on both rinks. An enjoyable afternoon, nevertheless.

​Chudleigh came to Budleigh on Saturday for their first indoor match with us. A friendly group, looking very smart in their new matching kit. Unfortunately we were outshone and outplayed!  But an enjoyable afternoon none the less.

Budleigh traveled to Honiton for a friendly match on Sunday. We received a warm welcome from our genial hosts. However that didn't mean we had an easy game and the hosts pulled out all the stops to soundly defeat the visiting team. We look forward to a return match in the future. 

​Smiles all round before the match, and ours were still there at the end, with a triumphant win on both rinks over the Topsham bowlers 34-18. They are always good company and didn’t seem to take it too badly. It was Budleigh’s Adrian Harris’s first friendly match and he seemed to enjoy it and played very well, even though he has only been playing since May this year.
Well done to all, under the captaincy of Melissa.

​Budleigh travelled to Sidmouth for a friendly match on a rainy and gloomy Sunday afternoon. A very friendly pair of Sidmouth teams did not help to left the gloom for Budleigh who came away with a significant defeat.  The scores were quite close at the half way stage but Sidmouth found their feet and romped away on one rink and slowly built up a lead on the other to win overall. Well done Sidmouth and commiserations to the gallant Budleigh teams.

​It was another successful quiz evening yesterday and we have new winners! Nick and Alf with friends Robert and Mo, proudly holding the trophy, with Quizmaster John, who obviously enjoys his role and the banter.  Fish and chips from Krispies went down well again.
Thanks to the many members who work hard to make these evenings so successful.

​It was the first of our internal club matches between the men and the ladies.
The ladies had won the last outdoor battle in the summer, but had struggled to gain any victories during the last indoor season.
On one rink, after several ends, the ladies had yet to score and it looked like the start of another defeat, and but gradually they crept back to a resounding 19-13 win, under the leadership of the skip, Marilyn Foreman.
On the second rink it was nip and tuck all the way, until after tea and perhaps the gents were suffering a sugar rush from too much cake, enabling the ladies to forge ahead to a 22-14 victory.
Well played everyone and well done to the ladies. It was an enjoyable afternoon with some great bowling and banter.
